With the other 3 networks in reruns, FOX and NBC prospered.
FOX: An “event” GLEE that dealt (albeit in a superficial, gimmicky way) with the issue of school shootings gave the show a 2.4, an increase of 0.4 from its last episode and the show’s best rating in over a month. Prior to that, AMERICAN IDOL was up 0.2 to 3.1, higher than it’s been for the past 3 Thursdays.
NBC: The highly-promoted Muppet episode of COMMUNITY boosted it 0.2 to 1.2. PARKS & RECREATION was steady at 1.5, then THE OFFICE was up a tick to 1.9. The season finale of GO ON only managed the same 1.1 as last week, not a strong argument for renewal. Facing only reruns on the other networks, HANNIBAL held at 1.6.
ABC: Only WIFE SWAP was new last night, up 0.1 to 1.4. After that, GREY’S ANATOMY and SCANDAL reruns were at 1.3/0.9.
CBS: A night of reruns, led by THE BIG BANG THEORY with 2.9, which was the highest rated show of the night on any network. Also notable: the repeat of ELEMENTARY at 10PM was only 0.2 behind the hour’s new episode of Hannibal.
CW: Reruns had twin 0.3s.
A mix of fresh episodes and reruns tonight, with GRIMM, SHARK TANK and KITCHEN NIGHTMARES among the latter. On cable, Starz premieres its new series DA VINCI’S DEMONS.
